TALLY ATTACHMENT FOR TYPE-WRITERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 13, 1915.

Application filed October 13, 1906. Serial No. 338,785.

T all ywhom-t lmay concern.'

Be it known that I JORAM ZIEGLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Harrisburg, in the county of Dauphin and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and `useful rlally Attachment forType-Writers,

of which the following is a specification.

r[his invention relates to typewriting machines, but more particularlyto a manifolding attachment therefor of the general character disclosedin a cowpending applicationof Clarence D. King and Andrew H. Milstead,filed, May 5, 1905,- Seri'al No. 258,925.

' In thel application above identiied is shown a fiat platen or booktypewriter which,

as is well understood in the art, includes a I machine frame movablelongitudinally' of a flat platen to line space the writing and carnrying printing or writing mechanism which' is movable transversely ofthe platen to letter spacethe writing. At the front and rear of theframe are mounted carriers between which extends a tally sheet arrangedto be printed upon by the writing mechanism when the latter is operatingover a given area of the platen so as to produce a duplicate or tallyrecord of a portion of the matter sheet past the. printing point of themachine` and thus simultaneously effects the line spacing of the matteron both the tally and work sheets. The arrangement is such, however,that unless a spacing dog' is moved to its inoperative position, thetally sheet is advanced whenever the machine is advanced,l

and vllthis is undesirable `for the reason that the machine isfrequently advanced during the printing ,ofthat portion of the inatterof which no tally record is desired, and the spacing of. thel tallysheet at such times vmerely results in .the waste ofrspace thereon.

l The primary object of my invention, as distinguishedzfrom that 'otA'King and Mil stead |is to provide spacing mechanism whereby, withoutspecial adjustment of any part of the mechanism, the line spacing of onthe tally sheet, so that no feed of the tally sheet, except such as isnecessary to line space the entries thereon, will be effected.

Another object is to provide for the use of tally sheets or strips ofvarious widths, and infact, toprovide for the use of a strip or websubstantially as wide as the work 'sheet so that, if desired, theinanifolding of the entire matter printed can be effected, the originalrecord being'produced on the sheet carried by the typewriter frame andthe duplicate or copy 'record being transferred therefrom to a Sheetcarried by the platen.

Another object is to improve the mechanism for guiding, holding andfeeding one end of the web and to so arrange the receiving carrier thatthe printed portion of the web may be readily removed therefrom whendesired.

Various objects of the invention, subordinate to those stated, willappear as the succeeding description is developed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front'elevation of anElliott-Fisher typewriter"equipped with my invention. Fig. 2 is ,adetail View, showing the line spacing mechanism in end elevation andindicatingfone position of the tally sheet line spacing lever in dottedlines. Fig. il is a vertical section through the typewriter frame andthe tally sheet attachment, the carriage and certain of the mechanismcarried thereby being indicated in dotted lilies. Fig.l e is a rearelevation of the machine with the tally attachment applied. Fig. 5 is aplan view, partly in section, of the front portion of the typewritervframe and the adjacent element-s of the attachment, the

parts being broken away to facilitate their illustration. Fig. 6 is afront elevation, partly in section, of that portion of the mechanismmounted at the front of the typewriter. i Fig. 7 is a rear elevation,partly in section, of those elements of the attachment which are locatedat the rear side of the typewriter. Fig. 8 is a sectional view on portof the hold-back dog, and Fig. 12 is a detail view of the dog.

Referring to the reference characters on the drawings, 1 indicates thestationary flat platen of the Elliott-Fisher billing machine ortypewriter of commerce. Along the longitudinal margins of this platenextend tracks or guides 2 which are toothed, as shown in Fig.` 2, andportions of which are movable toward and from the platen to enable oneor both of said tracks to act as a holder or clump for the work sheet 3imposed upon the writing surface of the platen. The tracks 2 support themachine frame 4,

movable longitudinally of .the platen to line A space the typewritingaccomplished by keyoperated printing mechanism 5 supported by thecarriage G and movable transversely of theI platen on the frame 1 toletter space the writing. l

The carriage 6 is propelled by spring drums 7 and is controlled by `theusual keyoperated escapement mechanism. The inking ribbon 8 is mbuntedon the carriage and extends under the type basket so that, when the typedescends to the platen upon the operation of a key, the ribbon isinterposed between the type and the work sheet 3 which is retained, asshown, in a flat spread-out -condition upon the platen. i

The frame t is advanced stepbystep over the platen by the line spacingmechanism,

which includes a spacing shaft 9 extending across the front of the frame4 and carrying toothed pinions 10 meshing withthe tracks or guides 2.The shaft 9 is afforded bearings in brackets 11, 12 and 13 projectingfrom the front of the fraaie ll. The brackets 1 2 and 13 are located atthe right hand end of the shaft and between them the shaft is providedwith a knurledwheel 14 fixed to thc shaftand a rocker arm 15 loose onsaid shaft. A line spacing lever or actuator 16 is pivoted at the freeend of the rocker Aarm 15 and is arranged t'engage the rotary knurledwheel 14 on the shaft 9 to cause the pinions carriedl'lby said shaft totravel on the tracks and thus advance the machine frame.-

A stop 17 limits the forward movemen of the actuator, and a retractingspring 1S serves to retract the rocker arm and actuator after each linespacing operation. The throw of the line spacing lever or actuator 1G 5and thus the extent of the line space advance of the machine is.regulated by a variable stop mechanism 19 which limits the ret-urnmovement of the lever. The line spacing mechanism is that ordinarilyemployed on the Fisher machine and is exemplified in Patent No. 703,954,issued to ll. J. Fisher July 1, 1902.

Mounted tending substantially the entire width of the writing surface ofthe platen is what may loosely on the shaft 9 and'eX-` end of the roll.Pivoted on the rocker arm 9.2 is a tally sheet line spacing lever oractuator 2l similar to the lever 16 and adapted to engage a secondknurled wheel E25 fixed to the right hand end of the feed roll '20. Theforward movement of the actuator 24 is limited by a stop bar 26 theright hand end of which passes through the bracket l2 and projectsbeyond the same to form the stop 17. This actuator is retracted by aspring 2T similar to the spring 1S, but having its fixed end secured tothe bar 26, as shown in F ig. 8, as distinguished from the `spring 18the fixed end of which is carried by the bracket 13. Attention isdirected to the fact that each of the springs 18 and :27 has one endattached to a stud 28 or 28 extending from the adjacent rocker arm andserving to limit the slight relative movement of each actuator withrespect to its arm, this relative movement being necessary to permit theactuator to engage the adjacent knurled wheel when the actuator is drawnforward and to remain disengaged from the wheel during the retraction ofthe actuator.

It will now-be seen that by the arrangement described, one of the linespacing levers may be operated to line space the machine over the platenand that the other lever may be operated to intermittently effect rotarymovement of the primary feed roll 20. Disposed above and in. .coperativerelation with the primary or lower feed roll 2O is an upper or secondaryfeed roll '29, preferably having a roughened or other form of frictionalsurface, as shown, and journaled at its opposite ends in verticallyadjustable bearing blocks 30 guided in brackets 31 and prevented fromrising by adjustment screws 32 retained iin-position by lock nuts 33.The brackets 31 are held in spaced relation to the inner sides of thebrackets 11 and 12 by bars 34, three bars being provided between eachpair of brackets, and the stop bar 26 serving as one of these in theconnection of the brackets at the right hand .side of the machine.

ln advance of the primary feed roll 2O is supported the front carrier 35for the tally sheet web, or strip 36, (see Fig. B) ledunder the machinefrom the rear carrier 3T, rotary guide rollers 3S and 39 being providedfor the web at the vbottom of the machine and adjacent to the front andrear sides of the frame l, these rollers, like the feed rolls, extendingsubstantiallj,7 the entire width of the writingl surface of the platen.The front carrier is in the form of a rotary spindle preferably having aknul-led surface and is designed to have wound thereon the front end ofthe tally sheet 36 whichI extends upwardly from the front guide 39j andthence between the feed rolls to the carrier This arrangement results inthe g forward feed or advance of the tally sheet by the rotation of theprimary feed roll which, through the medium of the paper, effects therotation of the secondary feed roll and the front carrier 35, and causesthe advanced portion of the tally sheet to be closely wound upon thelatter.

As the front tally roll increases in size, it is necessary that.thefront carrier 35 shall recede from the primary feed roll, as indi catedin dotted'lines in Fig. 3. For this reason said carrier is journaled uina swinging support comprising parallel arms and 4l engaging thetrunnions of the carrier,`see Fig. 10, and fixed to a rock shaft 42extending between the brackets 31, or more properly between extensions43 and -l-l of'said brackets7 see Fig. 5. The shaft 42 is journaleddirectly in the bracket 44 at one end, but its opposite end terminatesat the E5 inner face of the bracket extension 43 and is formed with anaxial cavity 45 into which is extended a hollow journal 46 constitutingan extension of the cap 47 secured in the bracket extension 43 by a setscrew 48 and held against endwise movement by a nut 49 seated in acavity in the end of the cap and engaging the 'threaded outer end of anaxial stem 50 extended from the shaft 42.

Mounted in the space defined by the bores of the journal 46 and theshaft 42 conjointly is a spiral spring 5l one end of which is fixed tothe shaft 42 and the other end of which is retained by the fixed cap 47.This spring exerts a constant tendency to rotate the front tally carrier35 toward the primary feed roll. Thespring 51 thus serves to yieldinglyhold the carrier in coperative relation to the'fe'ed roll, but is not ofsufficient strength to unduly oppose the reces sion of the carrier fromthe tfeed roll as the tally sheet accumulates upon the former and thusincreases the size of the front tally roll. Ordinarily, the printedportion of the tally 50 strip is removed from the front carrier 35 bysevering the strip at a-point in rear ofthe carrier and then unwindingand removing the printed portion of the strip. Itmay be desirable,however, to retain` the used portion of the strip in the form of a roll,as for instance to facilitate its transportion from the4 billingdepartment of an establishment to the book-keeping department thereof.For this reason the arm 40 of the carrier support is retainedupon theshaft 42 by a Set screw 52, or other form of key, extended into alongitudinal' groove 53 in the shaft 42. This character of mounting forthe arm compels the latter to move with the*Y mi Shaft 42 when thelatter is rocked, but per- `a shaft 57 extending entirely aci-'oss thethe shaft 42 in the proper direction to urge.'

mits it to be moved longitudinally of the shaft for the purpose ofwithdrawing it from engagement. with the trunnion of the carrier. Thelatter can thus be removed from its support and the tally roll slippedendwise therefrom; or.` if desired, the machine may be provided with anumber of carriers so that each carrier when filled may be removed withthe tally roll and utilized as a core for the latter uvhen the roll isunwound in the book-keeping or checking department. Y

The rear tally carrier 37 is in tbe form of a spool extensible to-accommodate tally sheets of different widths and adjustabletransversely of the platen to dispose it opposite any portion of thework sheet upon which the matter to be tallied is printed. It comprisesa sleeve 54 carrying twoindependently adjustable disks 55 retained intheir adjusted positions on the sleeve by set screws 5G. The disks arethus relativelyadjustable, according to the width of the tally strip tobe employed.- The sleeve 54 is mounted to rotate upon and is adjustablelengthwise of writing surface of the platen and supported above thelatter by brackets 58 extended rearwardly from the frame 4 of themachine, see Figs. 3 and 7. At opposite ends of the sleeve 54 setcollars 59 are adjustably retained on the shaft 57 by set screws 60, andbetween one of these collars and the adjay. cent end of the sleeve 54 isinterposed a tension device, preferably in the form of a '109 spring(il, which opposes sufficient frictional resistance to the rotation ofthe rear tally carrier to cause that portion of the tally. sheetextending between the carriers to be held taut.

To facilitate the removal of the carrier 37 from the shaft 57, thelatter is detachable from the brackets'S. A t its left hand end theshaft 57 is provided with an extension 62 passed into the bracket 58 andheld by a llt) set screw G3. The other bracket, however, is4 providedwith a latch 64 passed through the bracket 58 and into the hollow end ofthe shaft 57 and movable endwise to effect its withdrawal from the shaftin order to allow the right hand end of the latter to be moved laterallya sufiicient distance to permit the displacement and replacement of thecarrier. It will of course be understood that in order to permit thisswinging movement of the shaft 57 whenits right hand end is released.the fitting of the parts at the left hand 'end of the shaft will besomewhat loose. or, if desired, the shaft 57 may be moved laterally onlya sufficient distance to permit it to clear the bracket 58 at the lefthand side of the machine, the shaft being then withdrawn endwise fromthe other bracket.

A t will now be seen that since the guide 18@ rollers, the feed rollsand the front carrier all extend practically the entire width of theplaten.I and since the rear carrier is vari able in size and adjustableto various positions transversely ot the platen, it is possible tovutilize tally sheets or strips of' various,

widths and to eii'ect the mounting thereof at various points, according'to the location of the particular portion of the work sheet oppositewhich it is desired to locate the strip. As thus far described themachine will be seen to comprehend a tally attachment including linespacing mechanism separate shi-fetlalone, the line spacing of the tally'sheet, after each entry thereon, will be acy companied by the linespacing ot the machine, a single operation being necessary to effect thesiniultaneous line spacing oit both the machine and the tally sheet. Toattain this end, the rocker arm 22 ot the tally sheet linespacingamechanism is provided with a laterallyextended end Q2' disposedin rear of the actuator 16 of the machine line spacing i'nechanism.Thus, while the lever 1G may be operated to independently advance themachine, the operation of the lever Q4, to line space thitally sheet,will cause the lateral end' ot' the arm 22 to simultaneously l operatethe lever l, thus accomplishing the line spacing ot the machine as thetally sheet is line spaced. In other words, the arrangement is such thatwhen the lever 1G is operated, it will operate alone to e'ect the linespacing of the machine only, -while the operation ot the level- 24 willse'rve to operate the tally sheet feeding mechanism and also the machineline spacing mechanism to effeet the simultaneous advance of both thetally sheet and the machine. it is not impossible, however, to linespace the tally sheet without line spacing the machine, since, byholding the lever 1G of the machine line spacing. mechanism in its\advanced position, as shown in Fig. 2. the lever 2i of the tally spacingmechanism may be repeatedly operated without effecting line spacing ofthe machine, as for instance, when it is desired to complete the windingof the vprinted portionof the tally sheet upon the front carrierpreparatory to detaching and removing said portion Jfrom the machine.

To prevent reverse rotation of the feed rolls when the rocker arm isretracted, a

hold-back or check dog G5 is pivotally mounted on a bracket 66 securedin any suitaile manner to one of the rods 34. The dog has a knurled face6'? which is normally heldin engagement with the knurled Wheel by aspring GS having a bowed portion which cooperates with a pin 69projectingfrom one side of the dog, see Fig. 8. lIt is sometimesdesirable, however, to permit relverse rotation of the feed rolls duringthe adj ustment of the tally sheet, and the holdback dog is thereforeprovided `with a knob 70 by means of which it may be swung out ot'engagen'ient with the knurled wheelA and. retained in such inactiveposition by the spring GS, it being obvious that the bowed portion oi?the latter will, by engagement with the pin 69, effect the retention ofthe hold-habit dog in either its active or inactive position.

'it is thought that from the foregoing, the construction, operation, andadvantages of my tally sheet atta chment will be fully comprehended; butwhile the present embodiment ot' the invention is thought at this timeto be prt-iterable, I wish to be understood" as reserving the righjt tomake such changes, .modifications and variations of the 'illustratedstructure as n'iay come fairly within the scope of the protectionprayed.
